This book analyzes the distinguished modern Muslim scholar Bediuzzaman Said Nursi and the methodology of Qurâanic exegesis in his Risale-i Nur Collection, with special reference to the views of the early Muslim modernist intellectuals such as Muhammad âAbduh. It seeks to locate Nursi within modern Qurâanic scholarship, exploring the difference between Nursiâs reading of the Qurâan and that of his counterparts, and examines how Nursi relates the Qurâanic text to concerns of the modern period.
